More Than 500,000 Rally in L.A. for Immigrants' Rights

AMEN nice tsee someone who see the big picture.

 

Sorry. I think you should re-check your facts. I am an athiest and have made no secret of that fact on this board.

 

Hi. I think that TJ & bigtexxx are very intelligent posters and I do agree with just about everything they say, but I haven't tried to pattern myself after anyone. I just say what I feel needs to be said.

And how about making a better life for yourself and your family there in your homeland that they claim to love so much and be so proud of? How about respecting the laws and the sovereignty of the United States? Either come here to the U.S the legal way or work to change your situation there. Public universities in Mexico are generally free. How about getting an education and a job there so you don't have to live in squalor or come north illegally? There actually is a middle class in Mexico.

 

i think we should build a giant bubble around the country so no one can get in or out. that would be super.

 

Insane just a ? if they love this country so much why is it when they were protesting they were flying the mexican flag and not the American flag . You say they pay sales tax thats a small amount to the was there using other thing like health care,the school systems and ,welfare there not help the economy there a drain on them.

 

come on glynch WWJD. i think he might call those scumbag wetbacks pieces of **** too.

aceshigh is just acting hard online. its sad people like him are around. i doubt he could actually call those people scumbag criminal pieces of **** to their faces. everyone that i know that is here illegally is good person and a hardworker trying to raise a family. those mothers trying to give their kids the best life possible are really scumbags.

 

We can't get rid of the Immigrants

who's going to build the houses for cheap?

who's going to mow the yards for cheap?

who's going to work in the kitchens of restaurant for cheap?


We need them as much as they need us

 

AcesHigh=

 

Again, why do they deserve to be called pieces of sh_t?

 

seriously man...do you really think there are as many jobs in mexico as there are here? further the jobs there don't pay crap. you act as if these people can just do these things with a snap of their fingers like we can in america. damn man you live a sheltered life.

 

I want to know how Aces, thinks a mother who left an abusive husband so that her children, could get an education in the United States, and have a shot at getting ahead, who works two jobs, on top of that, is a scumbag POS.

I think it is far more likely that Aces adopted a single attitdue and applied to a whole group of people. That is ignorant, stereotyping, and doesn't make sense.

 

Clueless xenophobia is a United States tradition.

 

Great post. I think we should do all we can to befriend out neighbors to the south. Instead of acting like rich elitist and turning our country into nothing but a rich gated community with armed guards, we should setup realistic programs to help these immigrants who just want a better life. Many people lose their life attemtping to cross into the U.S. through the Arizona desert. Just last weekend my neighbor, a Border Patrol agent, found three men frozen in the desert. Snow levels reach 3,500 feet near Tucson.

I would just assume embrace the inevitable. How about start teaching English and Spanish in school and actually turn America into a bilingual nation? Would knowing two languages destroy the fabric of the nation? I have always found hispanics to be conservative, hard working, family oriented and decent people; sounds like what Republicans used to value. I have never once been panhandled by a hispanic and I have lived 30 of my 36 years of life in either Houston or Tucson. I have no problem with a secure border, but crimalizing hard working individuals is ridiculous. Make entry into this country easy and swift and remove the need for them to hike through the desert. Secure the border to stop drugs and possible terrorists instead of trying to stop people that just want to work for a better life.

 

I am usually sympathetic towards immigrants coming in this country, legal or otherwise. But what is this Mexican flag waving all about? Somebody needs to convince me it's not an Aztlan Movement.

 

I am pretty sure that some of the 500,000 would support the Aztlan Movement. There is always going to be some on the fringe, but you just don't let them takeover.

Of course we let the fringe into the White House, so maybe America should be worried.

 

you ever thought about moving to India or China, seriously, because it isn't gonna change. as far as the same outrage, outcsourcing isn't illegal.

 

But why is one illegal and the other legal when they basically have the same effect of taking away jobs etc? It doesn't make much sense that only immigration makes these people upset.
